President Obama and the National Anthem at Camp Lejeune

While there is plenty of evidence that the President isn't exactly supporting the military, (President Obama's Secretary for Veteran's Affairs admitted that the administration is considering making veterans pay for VA Health benefits), here is one rumor/news item that is just not true.
Hal Turner, who appears to be a radio host (at least occasionally), reported that President Obama did not appear on stage at Camp Lejeune until after the National Anthem played ("Obama skips National Anthem..."). The implication is that he is un-American or anti-patriotic.
Well our friend Corporal Seamus decided to ask about it and received this message, cleared hot, from Lieutenant General Hejlik, Commander of Camp Lejeune.
Totally NOT true. The POTUS was in fact on the stage for "Hail to the Chief" and the National Anthem. Immediately after the signing of our anthem he stepped up to the podium and began to speak. After his remarks he spent more than an hour talking one on one to Marines/Sailors to include our wounded warriors from II MEF. How do I know the above is accurate? Simple I was the Marine general on the stage and I was his escort for the visit. Whoever "hal turner" is he is dead wrong and it is this type of disinformation that hurts our country.
Once again, there is plenty to criticize the POTUS without resulting to petty insinuations.
